TAXONOMY AND NUTRIENT COMPOSITION OF SPECIES IN THE Vernonia hymenolepis A. RICH. COMPLEX IN TROPICAL EAST AFRICA
(2016-05-20)
Three Stengelioid species forming a complex in the genus Vernonia Schreber. in Tropical East Africa viz., Vernonia calvoana (Hook.f.) Hook.f., Vernonia hymenolepis A. Rich. and Vernonia tolypophora Mattf. were investigated ...
SYNTHESIS OF A PHENYLETHYLTHIOUREA DERIVATIVE AS A POTENTIAL NON-NUCLEOSIDE INHIBITOR OF HIV-1 REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE
(2016-05-20)
The emergence of resistant strains of HIV-1 towards existing drugs has prompted a search for new compounds with good antiviral activity and favourable toxicological profile. This work reports the synthesis of a PETT ...

HEAVY METALS, PHOSPHATES AND NITRATES LEVELS IN VEGETABLES: A CASE STUDY OF KITALE MUNICIPALITY, TRANS-NZOIA COUNTY, KENYA
(2016-05-20)
Effluents released from sewage treatment plant contain toxic metal pollutants whose uptake by vegetables is governed by their availability and concentration in the soil. Therefore such vegetables may accumulate pollutants ...
AN INVESTIGATION ON MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS FLUID FLOW BETWEEN TWO PARALLEL INFINITE PLATES SUBJECTED TO AN INCLINED MAGNETIC FIELD AND VARYING TEMPERATURES
(2016-05-20)
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the study of electrically conducting fluids in the presence of magnetic fields. This study examined the motion of a viscous, electrically conducting and incompressible fluid flowing steadily ...
INVESTIGATION OF POLLUTANT LEVELS AND EFFICIENCY OF HEAVY
(2016-05-19)
An increase in population initiating rapid industrialization has been found to consequently increase the effluents and domestic wastewater into the aquatic system. This has resulted in heavy metal pollution which has become ...
EFFECT OF HYPERTENSION ON RENAL FUNCTIONS IN DIABETICS
(2016-05-19)
Hypertension affects and progressively reduces the filtering function of the kidney leading to chronic kidney disease. There are many incidences of people with high blood pressure hence chronic kidney disease is expected ...
POLLUTANT LEVELS IN WASTE WATER FROM TANNERY EFFLUENT: A
(2016-05-19)
Wastewater from leather processing industries is very complex and leads to water pollution if discharged before treatment, especially due to its high organic loading and chromium content. Over the past years, Nakuru Tanners ...
CHARACTERISATION, ANTIFUNGAL AND MOSQUITOCIDAL ACTIVITIES OF MORMODICA FOETIDA LEAF EXTRACTS AND THEIR FORMULATION INTO DROP PILLS.
(2016-05-20)
The upsurge in the prevalence of resistance to many synthetic antifungal agents and incidence of multidrug resistant mosquito-borne diseases has spurred scientists to research for new plant-based antifungal and mosquitocidal ...
ROTATING OPTICAL BEAMS: DIGITAL HOLOGRAPHIC GENERATION, PROPERTIES AND SELF-RECONSTRUCTION DYNAMICS
(2016-05-19)
This thesis reports on an experimental investigation of rotating optical beams. Superpositions of higher-order Bessel beams with rotating intensity profiles were generated using a digital holographic experimental technique ...
